Following the example of many European countries, today there is a kind of “boom” of the popularity of landscaping of exploited roofs. Green roof becomes a real sip of life -giving air in the city jungle. If we talk about the extensive method of landscaping operated roofs, then this type of landscaping is recommended even at the stage of architectural design of the building, due to the high load from landscaping transmitted by the ceiling and the bearing walls.
The roof of the already built building is also washing to be landscaped, but at the same time it will be necessary to conduct an examination of the building in order to reliably establish the load magnitude that the supporting structures will be carried out without prejudice to their strength. In addition, such a factor as lighting, without which most trees, shrubs, decorative plants simply cannot fully grow and develop is extremely important for an extensive type of landscaping. The intensive type of landscaping is much more easy to implement, does not require a thick soil pillow, which means that it does not provide too high load on the overlap. At the same time, the undoubted advantage of intensive landscaping is the minimum participation of the owners of the green roof in the life of plants.
